Before CSSD will refund a PFD to a person we must first check with the
Permanent Fund Division to see if there are other garnishments on the
account. If there are liens on the PFD, other than ours, the money
we collected will be returned to the Permanent Fund Division for
disbursement.

An individual is not eligible for a permanent fund dividend for a
dividend year when during the qualifying year, the individual was
sentenced as a result of conviction in this state of a felony or if
during all or part of the qualifying year was incarcerated as a result
of the conviction in this state of a felony, misdemeanor if the person
was convicted of a prior felony or has two or more misdemeanors.

How much will CSSD take from the PFD / How much can I expect to get?

The amount requested from a paying parent's PFD is based on the
arrears owed as of the last day of August. CSSD can garnish 100% of
the PFD, up to the balance owed as of the end of August, if the paying
parent has applied for the PFD and is determined to be eligible by the
Permanent Fund Division to receive the funds. CSSD submits garnishment
actions for PFD intercept in early September of each year.

If the custodial parent was never on public assistance and arrears are
owed in the case, the PFD funds will go to the custodial parent.

If the custodial parent is receiving public assistance and a debt is
owed to the state, the PFD funds will go to the state. If the PFD
satisfies the debt to the state, any excess collected would go towards
arrearages owed to the family, any other arrearages or fees.

CSSD anticipates receipt of PFD funds beginning mid-October of each
year. We will continue to receive funds throughout the remainder of the
year and on in to the following year until all dividends are paid out by
the Permanent Fund Division. The funds are sent to us in batches. Batch
numbers are determined by the Permanent Fund Division according to the
date the PFD application was received.

5.
If the paying parent applied for direct deposit will CSSD receive the
funds at the time of the first September distribution?

CSSD
anticipates receipt of PFD funds beginning the middle of September.
We will continue to receive funds during the year. The funds are
sent to us in batches. Batch numbers are determined by the
Permanent Fund Division according to the date the PFD application was
received.

6.
What happens if the paying parent has more than one case with CSSD?

The funds will be split between the various cases according to debt
balances.

Either the paying parent didn't apply or didn't qualify for the PFD.
Sometimes we do not get a PFD initially because PFD is waiting for
additional information from the applicant. The Permanent Fund Division
does not give us specific reasons for a PFD not being paid out.

9.
How long after the PFD is received by CSSD will I receive my payment?

We try our best to have the funds go out the next business day.

10.
If too much was collected, when will the excess be refunded to the
paying parent?

We work refunds as quickly as possible. However, before a refund can be
issued we must still contact the Permanent Fund Division to see if there
are other liens in place. If there are, the excess would be refunded to
the Permanent Fund Division.

The PFD garnishment is based on the debt amount on the day of the
withholding order. By the time the money comes to us from PFD the
arrearage may have increased. We may have garnished the full amount
but because of multiple cases the money was split.

In 1994 the legislature passed a law that requires the Permanent Fund
Division to charge fees to cover the cost of processing assignments.
As established by regulation, that charge is $2.00 for each assignment or
unreleased garnishment.

14.
Why is Alaska CSSD taking my PFD when I am currently paying through
another state?

Often other states initiate to Alaska to collect the PFD only. This means
the paying parent will continue to work with the other state regarding their
case. Alaska will only collect the PFD and send it to the other state per
their request. Once the PFD is collected the Alaska case will close.
